1702.90.54.00 - Described in additional U.S. note 9 to this chapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification, 1702.90.54.00, specifically designates blended syrups that meet the criteria outlined in Additional U.S. Note 4 to Chapter 17 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. These syrups are characterized by their specific composition and are entered into the U.S. market under the provisions detailed in that note. The classification is reserved for those blended syrups that are not otherwise specified within the broader categories of sugars and sugar confectionery, ensuring precise customs handling.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 1702.90.58.00, which covers "Other" blended syrups. The critical differentiator lies in the explicit requirement for the syrups under 1702.90.54.00 to be described in Additional U.S. Note 4. The "Other" category captures blended syrups that do not precisely align with the specific conditions or definitions provided by that particular additional U.S. note, even if they are also blended syrups.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 1702.90.54.00 is solely on ensuring the product meets the precise definitions and entry requirements stipulated in Additional U.S. Note 4 to Chapter 17, alongside the general scope of other sugars and sugar syrups. Importers must carefully consult this additional note to confirm eligibility for this classification.
